Actually looking closer at the Rocks comments he says they "will" team up.

Golgo13

I'm hoping Cyborg or Lobo. They have been pushing Cyborg in JLA and the DCnU, so odds are it could be him. Lobo is a good bet as well.

-Pr-

I don't think he'd really fit as Cyborg, unless they were going with an older version of Vic.

I could see him as Martian Manhunter or the like, too.

Tzeentch

**** it, let's just have him be Green Arrow. He's got the attitude.

Its Lobo or bust

The Rock is clearly Black Adam. Just look at him! I don't see him as Lobo, but maybe he can prove me wrong.

He is, but Black Adam is better for him. There's a rumor swirling that he'll be John Stewart. I hope to God it's not true. He'll be good in that too, but he's too big for that role and he'd dwarf Affleck and Cavill as a Green Lantern! It's bad enough Zach will have to use camera magic to resize Affleck. Why waste time doing that for another guy?

well since they'll have plenry of dough to use..

He is clearly suited for Black Adam or Lobo..

having him as an oversized John Stewart is a horrible choice

Galan007

Out of the characters mentioned so far, John Stewart suits The Rock best, imo.

Personally, I think he'd be an absolutely horrendous choice for either Black Adam or Lobo. Man, that'd be a turrble decision on DC's part.

Movie magic can anyone tallet, shorter, or the same size. Dont worry about height.

Your opinion is the complete opposite of mine. The Rock is too big for the role and looks nothing like John Stewart. He could easily pull off Black Adam since he was the Scorpion King and he has the charisma for Lobo.

jinXed by JaNx

Why is everyone so worried about who the Rock looks like he can play? I'm more worried about which character does the rocks acting ability best suit. We know, the Rocks, style. He appears to be conscious of his status and the appeal that he has amongst the younger demographic. So, it makes sense that he would choose to play a hero.I'm sure he could play a villain but in order to reach his full potential as a villain, i think he would be to worried about what kids think. It's certainly a brilliant marketing decision, but that's what scares me. Maybe, Martian man hunter.

I-Drop

If Rock=John Stewart is true, while Rock wasn't one of my choices(Idris, Chiwetel), I'll be stoked as Hell that WB/DC is finally choosing the right GL. This will show that they recognize @least one of the mistakes they made last time. They can take my money now if they'd like. I hope he does a great job

-Pr-

Really don't think that using the least charismatic GL is a good idea.

I suppose the Rock will help with that, but still, I don't think he suits John Stewart, personally.

Tzeentch

Meh, he should be Shazam or Black Adam.

-Pr-

I'd be happy with Adam, or him as J'onn.

I'd love to see him as Kilowog, though the Rock is unlikely to pick a role where his face is obscured, I'd think.

I suppose the Rock will help with that, but still, I don't think he suits John Stewart, personally. John is, was & probably always be the best choice for a GL in live action. He's got the most positive exposure to the general audience & a look that more easily translates to live action. Hal never really meant much outside of his comic fanbase. Hell, people were complaining about them "making GL white" when his film was about to come out. I knew the movie was gonna fail the instant I found out John wasn't in it. I couldn't get hype about it & figured that many wouldn't. There are a few people who I'd rather see in the role, but if it's the Rock I'll still support it & hope that he pulls it off well. I'm a fan & he apparently puts butts in the seats. He fits Black Adam perfectly, but I don't see WB putting him in a movie anytime soon

Golgo13

They'll give the Rock a character that can start a franchise, since he's pretty big star nowadays. Black Adam and Martian Manhunter is a no go. None of those can support their own movie. John Stewart is the best choice and will/could rejuvenate the GL franchise on film.

Getting the Rock to sign on for a franchise might be difficult; he's already signed on for the Furious movies, and he has Hercules coming out.

Now, if he does well in whatever role WB give him, then it would be a major coup for them, and I'd love to see him stick around for multiple pictures.

That's what I'm saying; I don't know.

Getting him to sign a multi-picture deal might be tricky, with the sheer amount of work the guy is doing. He's one of the most bankable action stars in Hollywood right now.

DARTH POWER

I agree Rock should play some major superhero. His stardom will automatically bring hype to the role. But as we know from the past that alone won't guarantee a hit in the superhero movie world (Ben Affleck as Daredevil, Nicholas Cage as Ghost Rider).

I also agree that John Stewart would help give a GL movie that more serious tone. Reynolds "charm" and "funny man" routine really didn't help that movie, and just aided in it being more cheesy and less of a serious movie.

Plus yes I-Drop is right that Stewart was more widely recognized thanks to the JL and JLU series.

I honestly wouldn't want him as John Stewart. He's so big, NOT having him play a physical character would be such a waste.

The Rock also isn't... "dour" enough to be John either, imo. You would need someone like Denzel or Michael Jae White to play a believable John Stewarr, imo.

John's got the most pros & the fewest cons out of all the GLs.

Huh? I'm a fan of most of the mediums DC does stuff in, not just comics. John even used to be my favourite GL.

I don't agree, tbh. Is he more recognised due to animated shows? Sure.

That in itself isn't enough, though.

Look at someone like say, Aquaman. If they were going to adapt him for a movie and stuck to cartoons for their inspiration, he'd either be a corny, useless outside of water guy with fishy friends. Or, he'd be a long-haired, bearded badass with a hook hand.

Yet DC wouldn't make either. They'd go with the current, most badass version of the character because that's the one they want to portray on screen.

With GL, they could go with Hal, John, Guy or Kyle. They all have their pluses and minuses. John has just as many as the others, imo.

Would I hate seeing John as GL? No. Of course not. I'd just prefer Hal.

I-Drop

Understood.

What DC wants to push isn't always best. The GL movie proves that. After Hal's film flopping so hard, WB needs to call an audible on this one.

I really don't see John having any cons for GA consumption that aren't intrinsic to all the Earth GLs.

John's pros:
Most positive exposure to the GA.
More suitable look for live action. No silly green domino mask.
Provides most distance from Hal's film.
Adds diversity and solves Cyborg "problem".

John's cons:??

Hal's pros:??
Hal's cons:
Extremely negative exposure. Hal's film was a critical& financial failure.
Look isn't ideal for live action.
Unlikely that any big names will want a role that even Reynolds doesn't want anymore.

Guy's pros:
Look is more suitable for live action.
Provides some distance from Hal's film.

First, if they want to do him justice at all, he's going to be the most expensive lantern to use due to how his constructs work.

Second, his origin story. It's awful, so needs massive re-working.

Third, there's the "Cyborg problem" as you called it. It can be as much a negative as a positive, imo, especially seeing as, with Hal having had exposure before (hell, people still remember Super Friends) John could easily just be seen as a "black Hal Jordan", which would suck. I know the Justice League is pretty white. I know that they need to add some diversity. But if they're going to involve John, at least put some merit to it.

Or are we supposed to believe that they're solely putting him in because he was the GL in the show? Not for a second, personally.

A mask? Really? You really hate the mask that much?

Why is the "look" not ideal for live action? It's no less silly than any other Lantern's, imo.

Big names would take it in a heartbeat, if the offer was right.

I honestly think John's "exposure" is being drastically overstated, tbh.

I-Drop

They can scale back on constructs like in JLU. Have him build only when a blast to the face isn't enough. Focus on a Marine's zest for efficiency. They'll save money by avoiding the silly CGI mask &costume too.

Hal's flop and complaints from people that they "turned GL white" show that his previous exposure didn't amount to much. John being seen as a black Hal is highly unlikely, especially if they get him right.

We should probably believe they're putting him in because the one they bet on before was an abject failure that lost them a fortune and they want to try something that might make some money this time around. They were gonna use John in JL:Mortal before all of this mess happened.

The concept is a hard enough sell to begin with. You don't want to add silly stuff on top of it. I can't think of any crossover icons who wear that as their only means of disguising their face. We don't have any successful movie franchises that feature it. GLs are space cops. Cops don't wear domino masks. Not even the space ones

It's silly looking in live action. The GLs who don't wear them don't look as silly as the ones who do.

You'd have to pay them a flat out ridiculous amount of money. Money that might be better spent on other things.

It's positive &popular &ongoing. Can't say that for the one they chose

I see where you're coming from in parts, I just honestly disagree with most/all of it.

I don't read DC so I can't say much about the characters personality, but The Rock doesn't seem to me like he would be a great choice for Lobo. I think he could make a badass black Adam though.

This site thinks he's going to be Aquaman! They make some good points I guess.

I don't believe that, but if WB is considering The Rock for Aquaman, it wouldn't be farcetched on their part. Justin Hartley (Green Arrow in Smallville) would make a great Aquaman.

-Pr-

He was good in the pilot, so I wouldn't have a problem with him playing him.

The one thing an Aquaman movie will live and die on, though, is the tone. Johns hit it just right with the current series, but it has to strike that balance between superhero and eco-warrior.

juggernaut74

The Rock did say the character was well known and he's never been played before. That narrows it down a lot imo. Aquaman is the logical choice. Of course he could have a different opionion on what "well known" is I guess.

pym-ftw

I'm personally thinking Manjobber, because he needs his tattoos covered. I just can't imagine Aquaman wearing a shirt all the time throughout all the JL movies.

That's a good point. Unless they're willing to pay for massive quantities of water-proof make-up or something.

J'onn has been played in live-action before, but it's so obscure it would be easy to think he hadn't been.

I like Jason Mamoa; he was a total bad ass in GoT. He could make a very cool but far more primal Aquaman. If they are going for a more brutal and "ancient king" feel for Arthur, I can see Mamoa working very well.

He does look like a decent Aquaman. Can he act?

ares834

I've only seen him in GoT (and Conan but that wasn't his fault) and he was playing a very stoic character who spoke a fictional language, so it's kinda hard to judge his acting skill from that. He was a total badass in it however.

Ah. Well he was in it for I think two seasons, so it's a good body of work to look at. I actually liked his character in SGA, and I wished Conan was better than it turned out being.

I just can't see him as Aquaman. I wouldn't mind seeing him as another DC character though.

what about him being John J'onzz

Justin Hartley for Aquaman and Jason Mamoa for Lobo.

Why does everyone think Lobo will be in it? Btw you guys realize if they use Lobo they will base him on the New version...

I could see Chris Hemsworth if he wasn't already Thor. On second thought, how about Liam Hemsworth? Get a little sibling rivalry going on.

Thor &gt; Aquaman

Liam? **** no. Dude can't act his way out of a paper bag.

Yeah, I'm not sure either.

Especially in the much more grounded DCcU he would be bastardized to a horrible level.

Meh I see no reason to hate his acting, he's about as good as his brother *shrug*

So, it looks like Rock will be playing Black Adam.

Better chance of Shazam, I can't really see BA being in the movie

Who would you put as the villain of the movie?

pym-ftw

Darkseid for JLA
Or
Doomsday
Or
Brainiac

Let's just say I don't think a villain team will show up in the first movie

Golgo13

I'm talking about the SHAZAM movie. Adam will more than likely be the foe. Which will be the Rock.

Has anyone said anything about a solo movie?

Golgo13

In the Wallstreet journal article. Fables and Metal Men are also being mentioned.

pym-ftw

Wow, if I were them I'd be trying to figure out how to make their A+ characters more profitable.
